Use of PlatformRepository in resolvers needs to be more flexible

                 Key: ARIES-542
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES-542
             Project: Aries
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Application
    Affects Versions: 0.3
            Reporter: Holly Cummins
            Assignee: Holly Cummins
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.3


When resolving, Aries has the notion of a local repository, which represents 
the OSGi framework, and a platform repository, which would usually represent 
the bundles provided by higher level infrastructure, like an application 
server. At the moment the platform repository is provided by a 
blueprint-injected service, which works very cleanly if there's only one 
platform to be resolved against, but less well otherwise. 

We need to add a new method to AriesApplicationResolver which takes in a 
platform repository and uses it for resolution as an override to the service. 
(The alternative is to rapidly register and unregister services between calls 
to the platform repository, which is both awkward and prone to timing failures.)
